Instructions

1. Melt butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and cook 1 more minute.

2. Sprinkle flour over veggies and cook 1–2 minutes to form a roux.

3. Gradually whisk in seafood stock and cream. Simmer 4–6 minutes until thickened. Stir in seasonings.

4. Add shrimp, crab, white fish, peas, lemon juice, and parsley. Gently combine. Transfer to a greased 9×13 baking dish.

5. In a bowl, mix Cheddar Bay biscuit dough according to package instructions with cheese and liquid. Do not overmix.

6. Scoop biscuit dough over the seafood mixture, leaving small gaps for steam.

7. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbling.

8. Optional: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and parsley and brush over biscuits in last 5 minutes.

9. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcooking seafood—it finishes in the oven and stays tender that way.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half for the cream, though it may be slightly thinner.

Don’t skip the biscuit topping’s butter glaze—it’s what gives the biscuits that signature restaurant-style finish.
